Ingredients
  

  • Frozen mango chunks (1 cup)
  • Frozen peach slices (1 cup)
  • Vanilla or unflavored protein powder (1 scoop, whey or plant-based)
  • Plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (1/2 cup)
  • Milk of choice (3/4 to 1 cup; dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
  • Honey or maple syrup (1–2 teaspoons, optional)
  • Fresh lime or lemon (1–2 teaspoons juice, optional)
  • Vanilla extract (1/4 teaspoon, optional if using unflavored protein)
  • Ice cubes (a few, optional for extra frostiness)
  • Pinch of salt (optional, to sharpen flavors)

Method
 

  1. Prep your blender: Add the milk first. Starting with liquid helps the blades catch and blend smoothly.
  2. Add the frozen fruit: Drop in the mango and peach. Frozen fruit is key for a thick, creamy shake.
  3. Layer in the protein and yogurt: Add your protein powder and Greek yogurt. This combo creates a plush texture and boosts protein.
  4. Flavor it up: Add vanilla extract, a squeeze of lime or lemon, and a pinch of salt. These small touches brighten the fruit and cut any chalky protein notes.
  5. Sweeten to taste: If your fruit isn’t super ripe or you prefer a sweeter shake, drizzle in honey or maple syrup.
  6. Blend until silky: Start on low to break up the fruit, then increase to high for 30–45 seconds until completely smooth. Add a splash more milk if it’s too thick.
  7. Adjust and finish: Taste and tweak—more citrus for brightness, more sweetener if needed, or a few ice cubes for extra chill. Blend briefly to incorporate.
  8. Serve right away: Pour into a chilled glass. For a little flair, top with a peach slice or a sprinkle of chia seeds.
